[QUOTE="Belials, post: 4710359, member: 145748"]Sorry for the delay - I just saw these. GrapeApe is partially correct, but to go in to more detail on SmartLinq, consider it more akin to "OnStar". SmartLinq allows dealers, owner operators and fleets to have their trucks monitored for vital diagnostics at any time. All trucks built with MX after the 29th of June will come with SmartLinq standar and it comes with a 2 year subscription for free. After the first two years, the service can be extended for free. SmartLinq allows your home dealer (if you allow them) to see the status of your truck. Out of the hundreds / thousands of MX codes, SmartLinq only monitors for about the 100 most vital codes which can cause serious issues. If a fault code is logged, it will e-mail your selling dealer, your fleet manager, or owner operators, and immediately notify them of the code and severity. The goal is to inform the driver / owner as well as the selling dealer as soon as there is a fault - that was action can be taken to fix an issue before it turns into something far worse. On top of that, SmartLinq also is able to keep track of when trucks are due for service and where the closest dealership is to that truck. Of course some people don't like services like this: [B]You can 100% opt out of this service. [/B]While I don't encourage that, anyone who is uncertain of it (despite it being free for 24 months) is able to opt out of it. To make it really simplistic, the ultimate goal is to stop a serious fault at the start, inform the owner as soon as it logs and get them to the closest dealership, reducing costs for the owner and downtime. Let me know if you have any questions![/QUOTE]
